We love bikes for many reasons. We use them to get around town, to go on epic adventures or just to get out of the house. Regardless of the application, we usually have some kind of storage need while on the bike whether it be to take our laptop to work, all of our camping gear for an adventure or spare tubes and some water for a day of riding in the dirt. You know how much we love Kriega products and how important it is to keep the rubber side down and the Kriega side up. Here's your chance to win some sweet Kriega gear.

The Contest:We are looking for the awesomest pictures of you and your Kriega gear. It could be anything from getting your knee/elbow/head down while wearing a Hydro-3 to you jumping the Grand Canyon on your bike with your parachute stuffed into an R35 to your bike packed to the gills with US-30s, 20s and 10s.

To enter, post those photos on Instagram with the hashtags #KriegaSideUp and #RideApart. You have until 11:59 PST on March 31, 2013 to do so. We'll create a shortlist of 12, then run a poll here on HFL on April 1, so you can decide on the winner.

The Loot:The nice folks from Kriega have graciously offered $250 of Kriega gear from their website to the owner of the picture that wins the contest. This way you can add the missing pieces to your Kriega collection and get that extra US-10 or US Tank Bag Adaptor or Kube Pocket or Pannier Bag you've always wanted.
